Apart from a flurry of e-mail activity heretofore not seen in scribus list, provoking consideration to unsubscribe same, what does Kunda bring to the table as self-appointed Spear Head?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On June 5, 2014 12:36:08 PM EDT, Kunda Loves Scribus <scribus.user@gmail.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<pre class="k9mail">Hello folks,<br />So just wanted to give a heads up that I'm spearheading some efforts to<br />help 'soup up' more participation when it comes to testing and compiling<br />multi-platform builds of Scribus by more folks in the community (and on the<br />periphery which includes LibreGraphics peeps, OSS in general, Mac OSX<br />world, and the crossover Adobe Indesign crowd who can't afford it anymore<br />:P )<br /><br />The key to this entails making insanely good documentation to help inspire<br />and empower. So first I want to really appreciate efforts that have been<br />done by so many before me.<br /><br />Most recently: JLuc's great work on<br /><a href="http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/How_to_file_a_bug_report">http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/How_to_file_a_bug_report</a> This is a critical<br />first step to help inspire, by inviting and allowing people to have a voice<br />and express it. Greg Pittman on using Scribus and Github. Really good<br />practical information there for people to exponentially learn both Scribus<br />and Git at the same time. a.l.e for outlining/writing a lot of the<br />information on the topic of participation already that I can draw from on<br />his github repos. BTW, if you're not on this list it doesn't mean that I'm<br />forgetting you or not aware of your efforts (which possibly may be the<br />case), it's because I want to get to the point :)<br /><br />Great developments in Scribus have happened pre-peri-post LGM2014. So in<br />the spirit of riding the wave of those efforts I'm inviting folks to help<br />pretty up some of the wiki documentation in conjunction with my<br />spearheading efforts. This includes:<br /><br />+ <a href="http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Building_SVN_versions_with_CMake">http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Building_SVN_versions_with_CMake</a> (making<br />this super readable and fun)<br />+ <a href="http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/How_to_apply_a_patch_to_scribus_sourcecode">http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/How_to_apply_a_patch_to_scribus_sourcecode</a><br />(same principle as above)<br />+ Participation on the topics discussed in<br /><a href="http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Needed">http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Needed</a><br />+ Help educate volunteers using the above resources and/or guiding them<br />step-by-step. Example: <a href="http://goo.gl/vkmrFD">http://goo.gl/vkmrFD</a><br />++ Especially we need people who are interested in helping to build 1.5svn<br />for LInux, OS X and Windows: on a bi-weekly basis or whenever a certain<br />revision is committed, or to test patches etc...<br />+ Help to create documentation that will facilitate all of the above Better<br />and help progress the effort.<br /><br />Also want to send a very thankful regards to the Devs for their continued<br />work. Thanks everyone for your attention. Lets continue to get a kick out<br />of this continued momentum!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />/Kunda<br />-------------- next part --------------<br />An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br />URL: <<a href="http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus/attachments/20140605/efb97faf/attachment.html">http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus/attachments/20140605/efb97faf/attachment.html</a>><br />___<br />Scribus Mailing List: scribus@lists.scribus.net<br />Edit your options or unsubscribe:<br /><a href="http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus">http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus</a><br />See also:<br /><a href="http://wiki.scribus.net">http://wiki.scribus.net</a><br /><a href="http://forums.scribus.net">http://forums.scribus.net</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
